Evaluation and effectiveness | Several evaluations of the program have been undertaken with mixed results. Older evaluations of the program that used a quasi-experimental design showed positive program outcomes, while the more recent and much larger RCT found no significant differences between intervention and control groups on literacy and social/emotional outcomes for children.
